Baby Steps

Sometimes life and knitting fly by, and other times it takes work to slog through either. I'll let you guess what kind of time I'm having. *smile*.

As always, check the side-bar for details.

Still, these booties have been rather enjoyable. I have a second done and waiting to be seamed up, and plan to embroider each with a primitive heart (in red), like I did with this pair. If I'm feeling really energetic I may make a second pair in navy with the baby's initials in green. We'll see - the shower is this weekend, so time is a factor....

for a second, I thought that the *smile* meant that these booties were for you because you were tired from... nevermind.

Slog-ful or not, those will be some cute-ass booties.

Knitting booties is so satisfying. They are just intricate enough to be interesting but so quick! Yours is adorable and I love the hearts on the previous pair.
I'm sending big hugs down your way. Wish I were there or you were here.

i hear ya sister.

my latest mantra is to focus on the four steps ahead, rather than the looming mountain.

Such pretty nasturtiums. They remind me of my grandmother's garden.

Oh yeah, the booties rock also.

Blessings!

eat the nasturtiums on salad, very spicy and gourmet-like. the booties reminded me to try the little camos i knitted on the beans, they are growing so quickly now. possible knitting shot, hmmm, imagine that. sorry for the slog, i think i know the feeling.

That one still ranks as my favorite bootie pattern- they're so fun and quick to knit- a most of all, so cute! (Lovely nasturtiums, BTW!)
